festival. Starting with the fourth festival, mixed choirs were also participating. Starting with the sixth festival in 1896, the festival tradition moved to Tallinn. It began in 1947, during the first song festival (Laulupidu) held after the Soviet occupation, when a centuryold national poem, forbidden by the Soviets, was set to music. "Mu Isamaa on minu arm" ("Lands of My Fathers, Land That I Love") was set to music and the song became the unofficial Estonian national anthem that miraculously slipped by the Soviet censors. In 1969, more than a hundred thousand participants gathered for the century anniversary of a national song festival and, in a spontaneous act of nonviolent resistance, sang this song. For fifty years, it was a musical statement of every Estonian's desire for freedom. http://www.blogto.com/events/3626 Pärnu Hanseatic Days 2008 June 27th 28th
